Used Volkswagen ID.4
The ID.4 was launched in the UK in 2021 as Volkswagen’s first dedicated electric SUV. It sits between their smaller ID.3 hatchback and the coupe-like ID.5. The ID.4 stands out for its roomy interior and choice of battery sizes straddling various range and performance needs. Compared to rivals like the Kia EV6 and Ford Mustang Mach-E, the ID.4 is more about practicality and comfort than sporty handling. You’ll notice the ID.4’s strengths in its big boot, excellent safety rating and value for what you pay. But it does have fiddly infotainment and touch-sensitive controls, so bear this in mind if you prefer simplicity in the cabin. A new generation is in the pipeline, so now is a good time to pick up a used example of this low-stress, stylish EV.
